General Discussion

I'm fundamentally not a fan of the concept of "Trump Releasing the Epstein Evidence". This "file release" is half-assery of the highest order, and irresponsible both for it's lack of safeguards against wrongful accusations, and because NOBODY KNOWS whether the public is getting "everything", how it may have been cherry-picked, redacted, etc. More importantly, this "release" could fundamentally undermine REAL investigations (the kind Democrats might do, I mean) that could result in actual justice.

I prefer to wait until Democrats win either House back, and conduct a proper investigation, with subpoena power, and/or for the DoJ to continue their earlier investigation under a Democratic POTUS. If there are perpetrators outside the fairly known, established set (Epstein, Maxwell, Andrew, Brunel, and probably Wexner & Staley) I want them held accountable, but not solely because they had innocuous conversations with Epstein after the point at which the public has decided it became a criminal act to speak to the guy. And frankly, that type of thing is the most incriminating stuff we've seen, despite 10's of 1000's of emails and files and whatnot released in recent weeks.

If more people are going to be added to that list, I'd prefer that comes to pass carefully and methodically, in the form of a formal investigation, either by a Dem-controlled Congress, or a DoJ under a Democratic POTUS, and one with teeth beyond reputation damage.

MHO, fwiw
